Analysis of RPS13 Gene (Mutation) by RT-qPCR (CAT#: STEM-MT-2440-LGZ)

Introduction

Official Full Name: ribosomal protein S13<br />Also known as: S13; uS15<br />The ribosome is an organelle that catalyzes protein synthesis and consists of a small 40S subunit and a large 60S subunit. These subunits consist of 4 RNAs and about 80 structurally distinct proteins. The ribosomal protein encoded by this gene is a component of the 40S subunit. This protein belongs to the S15P family of ribosomal proteins. It is located in the cytoplasm. This protein has been shown to bind rat 5.8S rRNA. The E. coli homologous gene product (ribosomal protein S15) functions in the early stages of ribosome assembly. This gene is co-transcribed with two U14 small nucleolar RNA genes located in its 3rd and 5th introns. As a typical gene encoding ribosomal proteins, multiple processing pseudogenes of this gene are scattered throughout the genome.
